I've just receive a call from CIMB Investment today, just after 2 days i emailed my resume. I'm asked to attend to interview on monday.

Do anyone have any experience undergoing this programme?

How long do i need to wait for them to confirm me for the job? Because I feels bad declining other job offer that come during the waiting period. in fact on monday, i have another interview in the afternoon.

How's their pay? and what kind of test or interview do they hv?
izit tought? coz i'm from science background. I don't mind long working hours, but really hate doing sales. what's their job like?

no ah. no cutting ppl off.

those buggers only cut down air-con during lunch hour!

Definitely don't reject any other concrete offer over 1st interview

If it's the complete banker programme, that's quite selective. got 4 rounds of interview. so declining other offers might not be a good idea.

so if i accept other offer and start work already, then CIMB call and ask me go for another interview. then how?

i really dunno how to handle this kind of situation.

agreed. i will not decline interviews, especially for a bank.

May I know what was your major in school? I'm just trying to find out what type of people the banks are accepting, thank you!

i'm majoring in medical bioscience. actually surprise that they call me.

but i'm worried about the assessment since i totally got zero knowledge in business and finance

they will accept any major. multimed, psychology, IT ,engineer, u name it! it's the attitude that matters!

are u CIMB employee? can shed some light here on their MT programme? and how long does the assessment take?

u got job offer still can go for interview ma..juz dun let your employer know about it..many many ppl do that including me..hehe

another stupid question from me:

Is this like a training in Investment Banking industry?

but since i'm a new employee, i can't just take MC or leave and dissapear for 1 day for the interview, right?

so frustrating. the other job interview is double A company.

Don't turn down any offers until u sign a agreement letter to work for a specific company

As we all knows, economy is bad now. looking for a good job is a very very tough task.

Good luck amanda

I got few friends doing their MT programme. Yeah you could sort of say its a training thing. You'll be rotated within the CIMB Group, but not necessarily just doing IB work. They may rotate you to do other things within the CIMB Group like credit cards, loan processing, internal audit, etc... Depends on your luck and each division's staffing requirements i guess.

hi amanda, how did u apply for this programme? i've not seen any advertisement about the MT programme

ok, i saw your reply in another thread, thx for the info... i guess i will try my luck as well
